Virginia changed its ballot access laws, and that meant only the most organized campaigns could even hope to attract enough signatures to get on the ballot. That left it a competition between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

According to CNN's exit polls, Paul won just a few blocs of voters in virginia. He won voters between 33-40 and unmarried men. He also won independent voters who aren't aligned with either major party. And he won among those saying that abortion should "always be legal" though that isn't the obstetrician's position.

Romney won almost every other category of voters in every region of the state.
